In this episode, Pastor Mike tackles a deep theological question: Why did Jesus say only the Father knows the end times?
He explains that during His earthly life, Jesus willingly limited the independent use of His divine attributes—a concept known as “kenosis” (Philippians 2). This is why Jesus experienced hunger, fatigue, and even limited knowledge during His incarnation.
However, after His resurrection and glorification, Christ returned to His full glory and authority. Pastor Mike emphasizes that Jesus now fully knows all things, including the timing of His return.
He also warns against setting dates for the rapture, reminding believers to stay watchful and faithful rather than speculative.
This teaching helps clarify the balance between Christ’s humanity and divinity, strengthening our understanding of who Jesus truly is.

4/9/2026The world is wearing out Christians. More and more are saying that spiritual matters rarely come up in their conversations with other believers. Our culture hasn't silenced us, we have talked ourselves into silence. Where Christians should be having an impact, they are stepping aside instead of stepping up.
If you want to break your silence and shine a light into this culture, be sure to request the book Making a Difference by R.C. Sproul.
